WeAreOpen - Nyitottak vagyunk

#werk Have you ever felt uncertain when sensitive topics arose at your workplace, or when an awkward silence followed a question during a job interview? Workplace openness and inclusivity are in our shared interest, yet, we often find ourselves unsure of what to do in unfamiliar situations.

We're launching soon, stay tuned! ❤️ Huge thanks to Publicis Groupe Hungary and 235 productions for their dedicated and inspiring work! #WeAreOpen #NyitottakVagyunk #BreakTheSilence

Corporate culture must also include the responsibility of reinvesting part of the profit into areas such as workplace training or DEI. 🤔 How can #DEI be both a business interest and a value? What data proves that diversity enhances a company’s profitability? Why is the gender pay gap so important, and what new questions does the emergence of a new generation in the workforce bring to the market? And of course, how can WeAreOpen - Nyitottak vagyunk help with its various services in Hungary? 📰 Helga Sasdi, Chair of the Board of WeAreOpen, talked about all this in the June issue of Kreatív Magazin, which is now available online! 👉 Check it out here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPmFeuzT #WeAreOpen #NyitottakVagyunk

❗ NEW BLOG ALERT 👉 https://lnkd.in/d5QVGv-b "You can judge how civilised a society is by watching how many people with disabilities are on the streets.

In the European Union, nearly one hundred million people live with disabilities, many of whom are still excluded from the labor market – despite a desperate need for more workers. That's quite a missed business opportunity, don’t you think? 👨🦽 Explore the insightful EU report on the current landscape of Disability Inclusion and discover its significance for businesses.

If you are a CEO (the size of your company does not matter) or working in HR and can spare a few minutes of your time, you can help us pave the way for more diverse hiring processes 👉 https://lnkd.in/dxhERfTX ✅ AmCham Hungary and WeAreOpen are conducting a survey to gather valuable insights from a range of companies operating in Hungary. Our goal is to compile the findings, along with expert insights, into a comprehensive toolkit on inclusive hiring, which will serve as a resource for organizations striving to create fair and equitable recruitment processes. ❓ Why is it important? In Hungary, there’s a critical need for focused action on hiring practices. Although many companies claim to seek diversity, the numbers tell a different story. Only 10% of CEOs are women, the "broken rung" persists, and minorities are still underrepresented.  With your input, we can take meaningful action to promote real progress in workplace inclusivity. ⏰ The survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. 📅 The final date for the survey is September 15. Every answer matters – any help is welcomed! #WeAreOpen #NyitottakVagyunk

Mobbing (workplace harassment) is a significant problem in workplace communities around the world. According to the 2021 Workplace Bullying Survey conducted in the USA, 33% of respondents have experienced it as victims, while 19% have witnessed it. 🔠 What does it exactly mean? The use of verbal, social, or occasionally physical violence, aimed at undermining emotional security, creating a hostile work environment, and pushing the victim out of the workplace. 💼 Why is it important for businesses? Mobbing has serious consequences for physical and mental health, leading to burnout, anxiety, and increased sick leave. Many victims resign, resulting in a loss of valuable talent. Additionally, it harms workplace morale, perpetuates toxic environments, and can lead to reputational and financial damages of the organization. 🤝 What can we do about it as employers? "A well-functioning workplace can combat harassment by fostering an environment that does not tolerate it. This includes for example establishing an ethical code, educating employees, promoting a speak-up culture, and providing an accessible reporting system. Leaders should acknowledge that mobbing can happen anywhere and facilitate discussions to address it. Ultimately, preventing mobbing is a collective responsibility, as it impacts everyone: we are all potential harassers or victims" - said Nikolett Suha JD, lawyer, anti-discrimination expert and trainer at Sheja Consulting and an external associate at WeAreOpen - Nyitottak vagyunk. Niki represented Nyitottak Vagyunk in Győr, engaging in meaningful discussions with AUDI HUNGARIA Zrt. employees about psychological safety, mobbing, and the important questions related to complaint processes.

The overwhelming majority of new mums re-entering workplace environments are anxious. 👶 Their worries are countless and range from questions of “can I still communicate and be interesting in “grown-up company” after spending months or years talking about Choo-Choo Train” through “will I be able to catch up with the new software my company has adopted” to “from the scale to 1-10 how bad of a mother I am to leave my kid in a nursery/with my mother-in-law/with a babysitter?” 🤔 🔎 In order to overcome these fears, we first have to have a better picture of what these worries really are.
